v,ONG H U4 FINE CHINESE DINING 9n,ttuos, Tow T3- 0, 'A wonderful adventure in fine dining" — Danny Raskin Featuring Gourmet Oriental Cuisine The exhibit includes photographs, documents and objects made available by hidden children and their rescuers from around the world. HIDDEN No MORE from page 52 examples of children's clothing, diaries, artwork and identification papers — all part of the dilemmas, dangers and fears faced by the youngsters. Associated activities include a pres- entation by documentary filmmaker and survivor Pierre Sauvage, a concert featuring Theodore Bikel, a display by local artists and special programs pre- pared for classes of children brought to the art center. The exhibit and associated programs, except for the Bikel concert, are free. Raising Awareness "Our emphasis will be on school groups," says Lincoln, a member of Temple Beth El in Battle Creek. "We will have retired teachers serving as docents, and I believe young people will be drawn in by seeing what happened to people their own age." A workshop for Holocaust educators was held at the Willard Public Library in May. It was led by Stephen Feinberg, head of national outreach for the Washington museum. Lincoln, who has lived in the city for 32 years, became interested in touring exhibits from the USHMM while attending the Mandel/Museum Teacher Fellowship Program at the facility. After writing a grant proposal to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, she was able to bring an exhibition about Oskar Schindler to Temple Beth El for six weeks. The intense response from the pub- lic led to considerations for additional exhibits and spurred plans for "Life in the Shadows," which has been in the works for longer than a year. Funding came from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Battle Creek Community Foundation, the Marshall Community Foundation and other supporters. Lincoln, a former New Yorker mar- ried to former Detroiter Gary Lincoln, drew Bikel into the project by remind- ing him that he participated in one of her 1990 classroom activities. Students had to write to celebrities, and she corresponded with him. "We've never had an exhibit like this at our Art Center, and we're excited to have the chance to showcase items that are different for us," says Linda Holderbaum, acting director. "We need to call attention to the Holocaust in important ways." Three artists — Oran Hesterman, Laura Seligman and Miriam Brysk — will display Judaica projects in the lobby of the Kellogg Foundation while the main exhibit continues in Battle Creek. Groups can have access to this display by calling in advance. The opening reception for the artists runs 4-6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8. Hesterman, a program director at the Kellogg Foundation, came up with the idea for the sister exhibit and invit- ed two friends whose work he knew. "Miriam uses multi-layered photos to show people who perished in the Holocaust," Hesterman explains. "Laura and I have collaborated on functional pottery for Shabbat and titled our works 'Celebration of Renewal.' For example, I have made challah plates, and she has done fabric covers to go with them." Lincoln expects a large turnout for the exhibit and associated events. "Our hope is that students and adults will gain a heightened awareness of a most tragic period in the history of humankind," Lincoln says. "We also want the exhibit to raise awareness of our responsibility to protect and care for all those who are targeted by hatred, discrimination and violence." ❑ "Life in the Shadows, Hidden Children and the Holocaust" will be on view Sept. 6-Nov. 13 at the Art Center of Battle Creek, 265 East Emmett St. The gallery hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesdays-Fridays and 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturdays.
